I can confirm this on IBM x40 also with the Atheros ABG wireless card: lspci gives this: 02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
My ath0 interface is identified as a wired network. I found that logging out of Gnome and from a tty login restart dbus helps: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart After logging into Gnome the card is identified as a wireless card again. Perhaps less will do, but I haven't found out yet... I'll post here if I find a better solution. I also tried the following which ISN'T enough: sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher stop sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager start sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher start killall nm-applet nm-applet --sm-disable Let me know if you need any info from log files and so. -- suspend makes network-manager say eth1 is a wired device https://launchpad.net/bugs/59981 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
